I don't mind the Grebs experiment. MacT took a swing and missed. It happens and it didn't cost the Oilers a whole lot. At least this is an admission of a mistake and shows something is being done to correct it.

In his few games this year, Grebeshkov hasn't shown any flashes of the quality player he could be at times in his previous go-around as an Oiler. Not sad to see him sent down, but I'm a little surprised they did it. Potter I don't really get. Why recall him in the first place when they already had 7 defensemen on the big club? Either way, OKC is where he should be, so I'm all for the move.

That's my take as well. Unlike the Barker experiment, at least MacT had backups in the event that it didn't work out. The Barker signing was a much more poorly thought-out move not only because he paid him so much, but because it was pretty much Tambellini's only move to address the defense so it either worked, or they were screwed.
